 One of my favorite albums! Mar 05, 2010
Viva La Vida is the first Coldplay album that I can listen to from beginning to end without skipping a single song.
I can't get enough of this album, it's one that I keep going back to and listening to again and again (either on CD or on my MP3 players).
There are songs that I do like more than others. My favorite songs are the title track, Violet Hill, and Yes. My least favorite is Strawberry Swing, but I don't dislike it enough to skip it.
Viva the music Jan 27, 2010
I have other cd's by Coldplay but I think this is their best yet from beginning to end.
Oh, lawdy, I do live this CD Jan 23, 2010
And I just want to say "Brian Eno for President."
This is so damned good it's painful. I'm a pretty big Coldplay fan but they're not Numero Uno for me. But the stuff on this CD is so good and diverse and outside their box it's really on my desert island list.
Every time I hear it I hear something different. I almost always listen to it all the way through. Amazingly lovely stuff to be found here. What a classic. Nice, nice work.
I do wish they could lose Gwyneth Paltrow altogether, but hey, ya' can't have everything.
Viva La Evolution! Jan 21, 2010
While Coldplay's previous effort, X&Y, succeeded by cranking the dial up on the band's unique brand of brit-pop, it lacked the heart and soul of both Parachutes and A Rush of Blood to the Head. With the band's fourth effort, "Viva La Vida," though, the band rolls up their sleeves, gets creative and inspired and with the help of legendary producer Brian Eno (U2, Talking Heads) turn out one of the most interesting and unique pop/rock albums in its time at a point where perhaps nobody expected them to.
Not merely sticking to one genre, "Viva La Vida" liberates Coldplay from the somewhat droning nature of the previous album, with previously uncharted waters being explored. Witness "Lost!" which perfectly blends the stadium-rock appeal of the band's greatest hits with a hip-hop flavor, making it a comeback anthem of sorts. On a similar note, the title track proudly proclaims "The old king is dead/long live the king," perhaps alluding to the band's renewed fire and maturity. Elsewhere, the band experiments with some avant-garde compositions and well-placed tribal elements while still maintaining their appeal and churning out one memorable song after another. Despite all of the experimentation and left-turns the band takes, at no point do they lose their identity or forget about the quality of their craft. Rest assured that this is still a Coldplay album, but of a different nature.
On the bulk of the album, Chris Martin and company sound hungrier than ever before, like they have something to prove and in turn, have churned out a massive masterpiece that manages to up-the-ante and virtually outshine their previous efforts. It's a joy to see fame hasn't spoiled the band or hindered their inspiration, and things can only go up from here. "Viva La Vida" is simply a wide-reaching and awe-inspiring affair that will satisfy even the most jaded music lover.
